graduate of the Royal College of Art, An Alleweireldt won the Armourers and Braziers 
Prize for innovative work. As a Belgian designer she has established herself 
in London for the last ten years,  selling internationally at private exhibitions, 
shops and galleries.  "Jewellery 
is inspiring in it's ability to seek beauty in the overlooked, challenging the 
notion of preciousness. I like to combine materials we know as precious  with 
everyday materials like vinyl, wood and rubber. My belief is that every material 
or object can be inspiring; it is how you look at them and what you make of it. My 
collections include turning vinyl records, lollipop sticks, seeds of the rainforest 
etc into stunning pieces you would want to wear.  It's necessary to look a 
little closer as things may not be as they seem."
